Let's Get Technical

I have found it to be relatively common that a horse has a tendency to drop their shoulder in a turn.  It really is not so much a dropping of the shoulder as it is an off balance turn that falls to the inside.  Typically when this happens I have seen riders try to correct it by lifting the shoulder.  This may work to some degree but barely.  It is not the falling shoulder that is the issue here.  The problem lies in engagement.
